Gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9, are being used to modify the DNA of fruit plants to improve their traits, such as resistance to pests and diseases, drought tolerance, and nutritional value.

Vertical farming is a method of growing crops in vertically stacked layers, often in urban areas, using artificial lighting and controlled environmental conditions.

NASA is conducting research on growing strawberries in space as part of its efforts to develop food production systems for long-duration space missions.

Precision agriculture is the use of technology to collect and analyze data on crop conditions, such as soil moisture and nutrient levels, and to use this data to make informed decisions about irrigation, fertilization, and other management practices.

Mango peels are being used to develop biodegradable packaging materials due to their high content of cellulose and pectin, which are natural polymers that can be processed into films and coatings.

Food traceability is the ability to track the movement of food products through the supply chain, from farm to consumer, to ensure transparency and accountability.

Grape skins contain natural compounds called anthocyanins, which have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. These compounds can be extracted and used to develop edible coatings that can extend the shelf life of other fruits and vegetables.

Predictive analytics is the use of data and statistical models to predict future outcomes. In the fruit industry, predictive analytics can be used to predict market trends, optimize supply chain management, and identify new opportunities for growth.

Berries are known for their unique flavors and aromas, which can be extracted and used to develop new flavors and aromas for food and beverage products.

Circular economy is a model of production and consumption that aims to eliminate waste and maximize resource utilization. In the fruit industry, circular economy practices can involve using fruit by-products to create value-added products, such as biofuels and nutraceuticals.

Jackfruit is a tropical fruit that is known for its high protein content and meat-like texture. It is being used to develop new plant-based meat alternatives that are both nutritious and sustainable.

Precision agriculture is the use of technology to collect and analyze data on crop conditions, such as soil moisture and nutrient levels, and to use this data to make informed decisions about irrigation, fertilization, and other management practices.

Monk fruit is a tropical fruit that is native to Southeast Asia. It is known for its naturally sweet taste, which is due to a compound called mogrosides. Monk fruit extract is being used to develop new natural sweeteners that are much sweeter than sugar but have a low glycemic index.

Drone delivery is the use of drones to transport goods from one location to another. In the fruit industry, drone delivery can be used to deliver fresh fruit directly to consumers, reducing the time and cost of transportation.

Bananas are a rich source of cellulose, a natural polymer that is used in the production of various materials, including paper, textiles, and bioplastics. Banana peels, in particular, are being investigated for their potential use in the development of new bio-based materials due to their high cellulose content.
